number_format

[Anon]

I need to have a 8 digit number at all times.

So if the number is '1', i need it to change to '00000001'

Can someone please help me, thanks!

$var=23;
printf("%08d",$var);

How would I make that a variable?

eg

$var=23;

$newvar = printf("%08d",$var);

by using 'sprintf()' instead of printf()
